    ^ What age is she I wonder? Mum just said to me that a lot of people used to say that Agnetha was the "voice" of ABBA.

    I think she brought out another solo album recently. It might be worth checking out.

    I thought she sounded great. She's 63 and clearly not gone under the knife which I think she deserves credit for.

    I thought she came across as very articulate and interesting. She's still got a great voice.

    I haven't watched the programme yet but interesting interview with her 9 years ago about what happened after Abba broke up.

    I'm loving the older female singers at the moment such as Agnetha Faltskog and Frida as well as Donna Summer, Barbra Streisand, Kate Bush, Cher, France Gall etc... Such good songs in a wide range of styles.

    I love Agnetha's song "I Won't Let You Go" but also really love the duet she did with Tomas Ledin "Never Again".

    I watched the programme. Nothing amazing but a decent show; and Agnetha came across rather well and fairly normal.

    As for Agnetha's looks; am I the only one who thinks she currently looks better than Madonna (54) does with her plastic surgery?

    Was glued to this: she was so pretty back in the day! She doesn't look awful now but she doesn't look great either. Her figure on the other hand is very good.

    As for her voice, it's held up remarkably well...

    The album is now currently number 2 on iTunes. Only behind a compilation album, so top 'chartable' album. Did not expect that sort of boost!
